I did the BBB (Bedtime Belly Buster) last night. It's a whey protein shake (IsaPro) with either IsaFruits, IsaCalcium or some Want More Energy mixed in.
I have to admit I was (and still am) sceptical. The claim is that it allows you to burn fat overnight, meaning you wake up with a flatter belly. Other reported benefits were more of a satiated feeling (not waking up with the growlies) and deep sleep. Game to try, I mixed up a whey shake with IsaFruits (tasted OK) about an hour before sleep, had it, then my bath and then went to bed. Note to self: make certain to use the IsaCalcium for the rest of the experiment. My commitment is to give the experiment a week and see what the results are. I should have measured... maybe I'll run this experiment for 2 weeks and do a morning and night measurement the first day and then a morning and night measurement the last day. That should show me if there is credence to the claim...
My scepticism lies in the fact that unless something is seriously wrong in the universe, I always wake up with a flatter belly than the one I went to sleep with. Food is digested overnight (thus the need for a bowel movement in the morning) and gas is expelled while you sleep. Get over it. People fart in their sleep. As long as you don't ruffle the covers and gas out the person you sleep with, I say that it's all good.
Anyhow, yes, I woke with a flatter belly - was it measurable? I don't really think so - but I do think I slept better - very deeply. And not sleeping well due to my obesity IS a problem for me. So there is an immediate and measurable gain for me.
Let the experiment continue...
